Op-Ed Project

Because it’s drawing near the end of long school year, and because I think all of you have an argument — or advocacy, if you prefer that word — inside of you, you have some real license and flexibility in your Op-Eds. The only things to keep in mind:

Be brave. Don’t play it safe. Take a stand on something you care about and that you want us to care about. No bullshitting. We’ll work in a bullshit-free zone, like we deserve.

Persuade us, don’t “prove”

It can be an exploratory essay, if you prefer, where you are trying to figure something out, and as readers, we get to watch over your shoulder.

We’re not married to the text essay: if you want to produce an audio essay feel free; if you want to create a remix, feel free; if you want to propose an alternative format, feel free.
